Hellmuth Steamed & Eliminated

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Phil Hellmuth steaming.
Phil Hellmuth steaming.

We caught Phil Hellmuth open for 900 and action folded around to Vitor Coelho in the big blind - who called. The flop came {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} and Coelho check-called 1,600. The turn came {J-Spades} and both players checked. The river brought the {3-Hearts}, Coelho bet 4,500 and Hellmuth tossed in a call.

Coelho tabled {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} for a straight and Hellmuth was beside himself. "Is this real?" Hellmuth wondered aloud, followed by some hushed and muttered curses. "F@#% man, what a bad beat," he mumbled before releasing his cards.

By time we finished typing the post we saw Hellmuth get up and leave the tournament after being eliminated.
